Chapter 6

"Being a small business, how can I compare to you, Mr. Dong? The crumbs you leave every day are more than what I earn in a year. I will rely on Mr. Dong's care in the future!" Zhou Dahai said with a smile. Dong Yangguang's hotel would come to the seafood market every day to purchase aquatic products. If he were to take care of Zhou Dahai's business, Zhou Dahai could easily earn a few hundred thousand a year.

"Sure, sure, Old Zhou, how much does the fish maw weigh?" Dong Yangguang asked.

"1.8 pounds!"

Dong Yangguang's eyes lit up, and then he waved his hand, "How much do you plan to sell this fish for? Give me a fair price, and I won't haggle!"

In fact, he was very skilled at negotiation. Although he appeared generous, he actually wanted to make Zhou Dahai reveal his true thoughts. He wasn't so foolish as to buy something without haggling, of course, unless the price was really reasonable.

"Mr. Dong, this fish belongs to my friend!" Zhou Dahai said, pointing to Jiang Tian beside him.

"Oh?" Dong Yangguang looked at Jiang Tian, "Young man, what's your price?"

"700,000 yuan!" Jiang Tian said.

Dong Yangguang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Five years ago, this fish would have been worth a maximum of 500,000 yuan, but now the yellow-lipped fish is extremely rare, especially one of this size. I'll take it for 700,000 yuan!"

He really kept his word and didn't haggle!

Jiang Tian's bottom line was 600,000 yuan, and he hadn't expected the other party to be so generous, which made him very happy.

Zhou Dahai also smiled, "Mr. Dong, I'll pack it for you!"

The fish, which was about 70-80 cm long, could only be placed in two water tanks. Zhou Dahai then busied himself calling for a car.

After coming out of a nearby bank, Dong Yangguang gave Jiang Tian a gold-embossed business card, "Young man, this is my card. If you have any good goods next time, remember to contact me. I will definitely give you the highest price!"

"Sure!" Jiang Tian smiled and took it. Now his bank account had over 800,000 yuan in savings. He earned over 800,000 yuan in less than a week, which was more profitable than being a boss.

Of course, the main reason was that he had good luck today, catching a yellow-lipped fish. He hadn't seen such a large one in five years, which showed how rare it was.

After the crowd dispersed, Jiang Tian handed a handbag to Zhou Dahai. Zhou Dahai took it and saw two stacks of RMB.

Jiang Tian smiled, "I know the rules of your trade. These 20,000 yuan are for your commission. Thanks for your help today!" To be honest, if Zhou Dahai had really colluded with other fish vendors to deceive him, he wouldn't have known. This was worth Jiang Tian's friendship, and the 20,000 yuan was well spent.

Since Jiang Tian said this, Zhou Dahai happily accepted it. In just three or four days of knowing Jiang Tian, he had earned as much as he would in two or three months.

After a casual dinner, Jiang Tian changed into a more formal outfit and took some documents from Shen Xing's desk at the life insurance company. He then headed straight to the café Shen Xing had told him about.

Getting out of the taxi, he looked up and saw the Peninsula Café. The interior was also nicely decorated, indicating that this client must be a high-level professional.

"Hello, are you Miss Guan?" Jiang Tian came to a window seat. The woman was facing away from him, but her back looked quite pretty.

The woman turned her head, "You're late. It's 7:40 now!"

"Sorry, the road was a bit..."

Jiang Tian wanted to explain, but the woman cut him off, "Alright, sit down. What would you like to drink?"

Jiang Tian sat down and finally saw the woman's face. She was indeed very beautiful, especially with her sharp chin. She sat upright, and it was clear she was either a white-collar worker in a large company or an employee of a state-owned enterprise.

"I'll have a Blue Mountain coffee!" Jiang Tian snapped his fingers at the waiter.

Guan Shunan was buying critical illness insurance, probably for her parents. It was clear that she wasn't ignorant about insurance like many people. The questions she asked were very professional, or rather, they were core issues.

On the way, Jiang Tian had reviewed the material carefully, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to handle the woman in front of him. It seemed that she wasn't the type with a big chest and no brains.

As for why he said that, just look at her chest!

He couldn't say it was a D-cup, but it was definitely more than a C-cup, making her white shirt bulge. However, Jiang Tian didn't dare to stare, as he noticed that the woman was very sensitive. Even a slight glance made her aware.

After a conversation, Jiang Tian's impression of the woman was that she was outgoing, meticulous, talkative, and graceful. It was clear that she was a very confident and intellectual woman.

"Alright, that's it for today. I have something else to attend to. I'll take the documents back and review them. If I decide, I'll contact you again. By the way, give me your number!" Guan Shunan said.

"Huh?" Jiang Tian looked at the woman in confusion.

Guan Shunan smiled, "You and I are not the same person, but I have a habit of not bothering others with the same matter twice!"

Jiang Tian then gave her his number, which she wrote down. However, she didn't call him as he had expected, leaving him disappointed.

Just as he left the café, Shen Xing's call came in.

"How did it go, Old Jiang?"

"The purchase probability is around 5, 50-50. I can't read that woman!" Jiang Tian said.

"Did she take the documents?" Shen Xing asked.

"She took them."

"Did you give them to her, or did she ask for them?"

"Does it matter?" Jiang Tian asked.

"It matters a lot!" Shen Xing analyzed, "Think about it. If she asked for them herself, it means one thing: she is basically satisfied. I think the purchase probability is around 8, and this deal has a good chance!"

Well, after hearing Shen Xing's analysis, it did make sense.

After a few more words, they hung up.

Back at his place, Jiang Tian first thought about how to use the 800,000 yuan in his bank account. Starting a real business was too small, and he didn't have any connections. But leaving it in the bank to earn interest wasn't something Jiang Tian was willing to do.

Perhaps, he could start a shell company, and the business could be salvaging!

With people's activities expanding into rivers and oceans, this business was inevitable. According to Jiang Tian's understanding, the market was quite large, especially in the ocean, where there was a vast amount of wealth.

Think about it, how many ancient merchant ships have sunk in China's coastal waters, all carrying silk, gold, silver, and porcelain. Even a small fraction would be a huge fortune.

Recently, he saw in the news that an American marine exploration company had discovered the wreckage of the British HMS Victory, which was estimated to carry gold coins worth hundreds of millions of pounds. They had already submitted an application to the British government to salvage the ship. Even if they could get 10-20%, it would be nearly a billion pounds, or about 10 billion yuan.

The prospects for a marine salvage company were vast. Pirate ships currently couldn't explore deep waters, so he could focus on shallow waters.

After clarifying his thoughts, Jiang Tian felt much more at ease and picked up a book to read leisurely.

"Hey, I almost forgot about my big lobster!"

Putting down the book, Jiang Tian went to the living room. The lobster in the aquarium was comfortably resting under a fake rock. Jiang Tian could almost feel its contentment, as if it had just had a big meal.

"Damn, how did it grow so big?"

Jiang Tian's eyes widened in disbelief. Yesterday, he had measured it with a ruler, and it was 10 cm. Now, it looked at least 15 cm.

"Unbelievable!"

Jiang Tian noticed that the dozen or so small fish in the aquarium were all gone.
